- 1986 hilux v6 ecotech
Hi There, the time has come to seek some advice. The project in hand is putting a V6 and auto trans in a off road Hilux, as it is going into a harsh, dusty and damp environment Iwas only taking the bare basic electrics just enough to run the motor, like ecu, fuel pump, efi. Plan A was to remove the computer and wiring harness and anything attached to the motor then plug it all back in once in the Hilux. After pulling bits off the wagon to access the wiring harness I don't think Plan A is a very good plan. the first problem I have is the BCM (surprise) it seems to that every electrical circuit in the car passes through it so will it crack a sad if it does not have the secondary stuff going through it ,all the stuff I don't need like flasher unit, dome light ,cig lighter etc,etc?
The security unit runs through the BCM as well and my understanding is that it collects info be fore it lets the motor start, is it coded to the key and will this cause problems if I use a custom key system?
I think I know the answer to the questions so Plan B is to stop being a tight arse and spend the $900 to$1100 to buy a wiring harness and a BCM simulator.
Is it worth keeping on with Plan A or is it not feasible?
Many thanks Mr Henry
